PLANNED PROVOCATION

By Emanuel A. Winston

Middle East Analyst & Commentator

After we get over our first wave of anger and disgust
regarding the vulgar display against the State of Israel by
Britain's Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, we must stop and look
deeper. Jewish experience with the Bloody English already Informs
us that they are perniciously anti-Semitic. Like the French, the
English will and have prostituted themselves to the Arabs for
years. On March 17 their Jew phobia blended perfectly in this
photo opportunity to show the Arab world that they stand shoulder
to shoulder with Arafat against the Jews, representing England
and as current head of the EU (European Union). Of course, as
their quid pro quo the EU states expect better access to the rich
markets of the Middle East, particularly for their sales of
weapons along with other goods and services.

Informed sources tell us that this visit wasn't as haphazard
as it may have seemed. You may recall an earlier period when the
European nations (Common Market) were working their way toward an
economic boycott of Israeli exports to force Israel to accept all
Arab demands. Their plan got close but could not make it through
operationally.

Start looking for US State Dept. fingerprints - particularly
those of the angry lady, Sec. of State Albright. The State Dept.
is suffering Administration paralysis due to a President with
zipper problems. (As a relevant aside, Mr. Cook is also known as
a philanderer and womanizer - but that's another story.) The
British have been used before as cutouts for covert American
foreign policy. In this case, the American President and State
Dept. were recently thwarted in their plan to force their version
of the Oslo Peace Plan on Israel. So, what they could not achieve
in public, they re-channeled through the willing offices of
Britain and the EU.

Cook comes to Israel after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
had just visited four European countries, coming away with what
he thought was an understanding. But, Bibi was treated as the
European nations have always treated their own Jews. When they
were not confiscating their property, killing them or rounding
them up for the Germans, they lied to them to achieve their
goals.

Cook planned to provoke a crisis. As point man for the EU and
US State Dept. he intentionally created a scandal. Knowing
Netanyahu and Israel would be rightly insulted and after
promising not to, he deliberately met with a Palestinian official
at the building site on the hill called Har Homa. This housing
development is within the capital's boundaries in South Jerusalem
but Cook provocatively labeled it a "settlement".

Cook first met with Israeli cabinet secretary Danny Naveh, who
greeted him at the building site saying, "Welcome to
Jerusalem, the capital of Israel." Cook replied: "It's
not just the capital of Israel, it's also the capital of
Palestine." Cook refused a briefing on Har Homa from his
other escort Jerusalem municipality's Amos Radian saying, "I
don't need your briefing, because I don't recognize your right to
be here." (1) If that wasn't enough insult, he violated his
diplomatic promise by also meeting there with Salah al-Ta'amri,
of the Palestinian Legislative Council. Of course, he told the
press and the expected demonstration of outraged Israelis obliged
the cameras. To ensure he wasn't misunderstood, he refused the
customary protocol visit of foreign dignitaries to the Western
Wall and Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust Museum which documents
both victims and victimizers - most of whom were from countries
now in the European Union. And then he placed a wreath on the
memorial erected in Jerusalem to the Palestinians killed by
Israel at Deir Yassin. (2) (See: "Deir Yassin:
History of a Lie" by the ZOA.)

In days and weeks to come watch the Bloody British lead a
campaign as head of the EU to force Israel to surrender more and
more land to Arafat, despite the outrageous facts of Arafat's
non-compliance on everything he agreed to do in the Oslo, Cairo,
Hebron Accords.

Madame Albright gave a background nod to Cook's display of
anti-Semitic, pro-Arab posturing and his deliberate willingness
to cause a diplomatic uproar. Now, we expect a meeting of the 15
EU countries censuring the treatment Cook received from
protesting Jews and the cancellation of his state dinner with PM
Netanyahu. The EU gave Cook their full backing before the visit.
Clearly, his deviation from courteous behavior (to put it nicely)
was prompted by a desire to shore up the UK's standing in the
Arab world. This scandal will severely damage British PM Tony
Blair's visit to Israel next month. But Blair had given Cook his
unequivocal support from the outset. Capitalizing on Britain's
presidency of the EU, Blair and Cook set out to demonstrate that
the Palestinians have the international community's backing on
their demand for a Palestinian State with Jerusalem as its
capital.(3)

The LONDON TIMES blasts Cook's
"precipitation of a major international incident that will
severely embarrass Tony Blair". This was a "deliberate
provocation", "an unequivocal disaster"...which
left "a poisoned atmosphere". (4)

Watch for the US State Dept. to wade in as if they are
even-handed advisors seeking peace, which they know full well has
been abrogated time and again by Arafat. What a nest of
conspiratorial rats. The English, French, American State Dept.
Arabists - all of whom seem to carry the anti-Jewish virus like
fleas on the rats who carried bubonic plague. Clearly, while the
chimneys of the vast European graveyard may have stopped smoking,
the coals of anti-Semitism smolder, waiting to once more burst
into flame. Only this time they wish to transfer the stink of
death to the Middle East.

Dear Reader: Your eyes and ears
have been tricked. The goal of
Robin Cook was to create a Jewish backlash which, in turn, will
give the Europeans and Arabists in the State Dept. and Clinton
Administration the excuse to puff up indignantly and vote
sanctions against Israel.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Demand that your Congressmen and Senators stand up together to
tell the EU and the UN that they are liars and engaged in
diplomatic fraud. Tell them we, the American people, will not
stand idly by and watch the preparation for another Holocaust so
England, France, Germany and Russia may once again sell NBC
(Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) catastrophic weapons of mass
destruction to radical Islamic militant Arab nations - because
that is what this Oslo Process is all about.

Send this article to your Congressmen, local
newspapers, Jewish leaders and especially to Christian leaders
who can use their powerful influence against betrayal of Israel
and the Jewish people.

Several Senators have already evinced suspicions that the
Robin Cook fiasco has the earmarks of a coordinated and planned
"Undiplomatic Move." Denials notwithstanding, the
players at this time seem to be Britain and France with Clinton's
State Department playing the behind the scenes organizer.

The circle of plotters was closed when it was reported in the
Maariv of March 20 by Sima Kadmon that ultra-leftist Yossi Beilin
and likely others had colluded with Cook/Blair. It has been
reported that Beilin flew to London to confer with Cook on the
eve of his planned visit to Israel. Journalists also pressed
Beilin to explain why left-wing Knesset members showed up at Har
Homa during Cook's appearance there. He refused to answer. If
there ever was a pre-planned lynch mob, this would top all the
others. Cook/Blair, Clinton/Albright, Beilin/Peres, and the EU -
all tasked to accomplish one thing to force Israel into total
surrender, which, after all will be said and done, will prove to
be the ultimate peace generally found only in the grave.

Certain Senators are already exploring US law which calls for
a US Customs' embargo of those companies who participate in an
embargo of Israel. Other discussions between Jews and pro-Israel
Christians are taking place in anticipation of a possible EU move
to block Israeli exports to the 15 EU members states. Austrian
Chancellor Viktor Klima admitted this past weekend that the EU is
coordinating with the US.

All are waiting for the EU to drop the other shoe. Up to now,
there is every appearance that the US and the EU have colluded to
cast Israel in the light of "Peace Spoiler" and
therefore subject to the weapon of economic pressure (read
blackmail). The EU, with England leading, is furthering its
negative agenda and allying academics with politicians in
sponsoring a conference on Palestinian Refugees, Mar. 23-24
(I&G News, http://www.cmep.com) to discuss the future of 3.4
million Palestinian refugees. They claim this is an issue which
lies at the heart of the Middle East Peace Process, as opposed to
an admission that millions of Palestinians entering Israel is
equivalent to destroying Israel. The question of whether
Netanyahu will bend to this pressure is still unknown. There are
unsettling signs such as Israel offering to withdraw from the
Security Zone in Lebanon if the Lebanese offer security
guarantees. Syria has already rejected this plan unless it is
accompanied by an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan.

London's respected Arabic journal Al-Sharaq al-Awasat reported
(I&G News, http://www.cmep.com ) on March 18 that President
Clinton and Prime Minister Tony Blair did confer to use the Iraqi
crisis to divert pressure from Clinton in the matter of the
latest sex scandals. According to the report, this was further
linked to Hillary Clinton's transmission of US intelligence
information to Yasser Arafat. This may sound incredible except
when one considers that the Clintons counted pro-Arab interest
groups as contributors in several gubernatorial campaigns.

Clearly the Webster Dictionary definition of conspiracy would
seem to provide a frame in which to understand these diplomatic
machinations"A plot to commit an illegal act." I cannot
help but wonder if the transference of vital intelligence to a
hostile party does not constitute a form of treason, particularly
where US troops could be harmed as a result.

For once, we can only hope that Congress will undertake a deep
probing with real and hard questions asked.
